i am curious: why this instead of feeding your LLM an OpenAPI spec?

▲jasonjmcghee 3 hours ago | parent | next [-]

It's not about the interface to make a request to a server, it's about how the client and server can interact.

For example:

When and how should notifications be sent and how should they be handled?

It's a lot more like LSP.

Nobody [who knows what they're doing] wants their LLM API layer controlling anything about how their clients and servers interact though.

Not sure I understand your point. If it's your client / server, you are controlling how they interact, by implementing the necessaries according to the protocol.

If you're writing an LSP for a language, you're implementing the necessaries according to the protocol (when to show errors, inlay hints, code fixes, etc.) - it's not deciding on its own.

Even if I could make use of it, I wouldn't, because I don't write proprietary code that only works on one AI Service Provider. I use only LangChain so that all of my code can be used with any LLM.

My app has a simple drop down box where users can pick whatever LLM they want to to use (OpenAI, Perplexity, Gemini, Anthropic, Grok, etc)

However if they've done something worthy of putting into LangChain, then I do hope LangChain steals the idea and incorporates it so that all LLM apps can use it.

makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

I think OpenAI spec function calls are to this like what raw bytes are to unix file descriptors

Same reason in Emacs we use lsp-mode and eglot these days instead of ad-hoc flymake and comint integrations. Plug and play.
